Hi,

I have a problem from time to time when changing IP-adresses for
servers or taking over other domains:

I have example.com correctly set up on a mailserver-A as a
hosteddomain, this server is working good, no problems and
maildelivery for this example.com works well.

BUT: MX records for example.com are still pointing to mailserver-B and
NOT to mailserver-A. This is still ok, because the "take over" should
take place on a quiet sunday night...

NOW if I send mail from any account on mailserver-A to example.com,
the mail is NOT delivered to mailserver-B, as this is still set in the
actual mx-record for example.com, but the message never leaves
mailserver-A and is delivered to the hosted mail account for
example.com on mailserver-A. 

In other words: in such a case, that a domain is setup to be
"hosteddomained" and "esmtpacceptedfor" on my mailserver-A courier
doesn�t seem to be interested in the actual mx record for a domain. 

In other words: my courier-installation overrides the mx record data
with local configuration info.

In other words: maybe courier does not even look for the actual mx
record, because the target domain is configured to be accepted as a
locally hosted domain.

I hope, I could describe the situation so that everybody can
understand, what I mean... sorry, my english is still not A-Class.

Question: Is this a configuration error? If not, is it a hardwired
courier behavior to ignore mx records for domains setup to be hosted
on the actual server?

If this is NOT a configuration error, am I the only one that has
problems with this kind of behaviour? How can it be avoided?

Thank you very much for your attention,

Peter
